Answer:

Hiya there!

Explanation:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

For example, uranium can fission to yield strontium and krypton. Fusion joins atomic nuclei together. The element formed has more neutrons or more protons than that of the starting material. For example, hydrogen and hydrogen can fuse to form helium.

Answer:

12.19 hours prior to discovery was the corpse placed in the desert.

Explanation:

Heat required for fly eggs to develop into first instar larvae = $Exposure\,time\times temperature$

From the given,

Exposure time = 16 hrs

Temperature = 27 C

$=16\times 27 = 427.2^{o}C$

The day time exposed hours is 10 hrs.-(7.00am-5.00pm)

$=10\times 37.8 = 378^{o}C$

So, the extra heat = 427.2-378= 49.2

The addition heat divided by average temperature.

Average temperature = 22.4 C

$=\frac{49.2}{22.4}= 2.19 hrs$

So, the total time exposed is night time hours to day time hours.

= 10+2.19 = 12.19 hrs.

Therefore, 12.19 hours prior to discovery was the corpse placed in the desert.

Answer:
space

Explanation:
Matter possesses mass and occupies space around it. The space is measured using the property known as volume. Different states of matter occupy spaces in different ways depending on how big, small, rigid, flowing etc. they are. Hence, each state of matter appears a bit differently and they have different volume.
